Ok, so I rode out to New Hope, PA this weekend for a little overnight. It's about 70 miles each way. I had the pegs up a notch from where they were on initial install. That places them at stock height vertically, but 2 cm forward from stock. As I suspected, that little lift in the knees rolls the pelvis back and I felt the seat pressure much more comfortably on my sits bones. Unfortunately, I dislike where my feet contact the pegs and the pegs are back into shin splitting position when reverse walking the bike. It's amazing what 2 cm will do! Haha.
I'm going to keep the pegs where they are for a while more and see how I get on. Long ride seat comfort is more important than perfect foot positioning. I think I can adapt to the foot feel much more than I can make do with that perineum pressure. Ideally, I'll follow NV's advice and have the center channel carved into the seat foam in the off season. I love the look of the stock seat and just haven't seen anything aftermarket that hits comfort while maintaining the style I want.
